Hello, I have paid for the app. However, it still says,' you have now reached the limit of 50 file uploads in the free version of this app' Please activate the paid version for me as I am unable to transfer files to my phone

After writing the review below I discovered that the app does work with 64 bit browsers. Touch 3 dot icon, then Explore. The directory structure will show up. The browser will surf to the URL. 5 stars ... Doesn't work with 64 bit browsers. Problem plagues other Wi-Fi transfer programs. Works very well on my xp computers where the browsers are 32 bit. For those who do not have the 32 bit browsers option, their rating should be zero or one star. Since I do, I give 3 stars.

I tried drag and drop of a set of folders. Files only copied. What's the use when folder structure is not copied??

Still no folder transfer. This app does let you access sd card which the app that lets you do whole folders doesn't. To have both would be nice. If app gets stuck on "starting" try changing ports. Port 8050 worked on my samsung phone+ tablet both which had suddenly stopped working. May help if you have same flawed. Good luck!

Downloads fail. When copying more than about 20 files the download from phone to pc fails 100% of the time.

I have the paid version. It worked fine for years, but now it won't work at all. When I type the url into the browser of my PC it doesn't load (and this has been my primary method of transferring to my phone for years, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the app and am I using it wrong. I am sure the url I'm using is correct). Also, my router is working fine, or I wouldn't be able to leave this review.

If you do have problems using this application on your WiFi network, it is most likely a configuration problem with your router/network. Please contact the developer if you have any questions and he may be able to help you ... but please don't rate low because your network isn't configured properly - that isn't the application’s fault ;)
